Crash, crash. Burn!

So, I have all 3 of 30 Seconds to Mars' albums... and I like them. But I never really *listened* before. Well my good friend *b* posted a video of this randomly strange girl transforming herself into Jared Leto using nothing but makeup, time and talent (vid here, if you're interested) and it prompted me to watch many YouTube videos of Mr. Leto which led me to the music videos for 30 Seconds to Mars.

I watched them all. I was captivated. I have relistened to their 3 albums. This is War is by far the best album they've produced- soundwise, etc. But the videos for the singles from A Beautiful Lie captivated me... they're visually stunning, theatrical, and totally fun to watch. But the song A Beautiful Lie and the video for it just wowed me. And I don't wow easily. Okay, maybe that's a lie... but shut up. But watch it... and then visit abeautifullie.org
